Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, the multi-Grammy Award-winning ensemble, continues its collaboration with the Morris Museum and its Lot of Strings Festival with this last of three concerts in 2021. These Back Deck favorites use their virtuosity to explore the great standards and under-appreciated gems of chamber music and were recently included in WQXR's "New York in Concert. The program on June 20th includes 20th-century Spanish composer Joaquin Turina's La Oracion del Torero, (The Torero's Speech) composed in 1925 and Dvořák’s String Quintet No. 2 Op. 77, first performed in 1876.

Patrons are welcome to arrive as early as 6:30 PM to set up and enjoy the evening sun. Buy a package of eight or more concerts and get early access season-wide. All processing fees are waived for package buyers. Groups that are purchasing five or more blocks for one performance will also have advance access and the option of having a designated pre-performance area to host a reception.

Bachtrack described the Lot of Strings experience this way:  "Spectators with their folding chairs, wine glasses and food baskets reminded me of the ambience on the Tanglewood Festival's lawn on a sunny afternoon. The sunset, as seen through the branches of a huge pine, was as spectacular."
